Chapter 40 I Came to Find You 3
A group of people quickly looked at all the places on the first floor, then set foot on the wooden stairs together to the second floor.

There are three bedrooms and a small terrace on the second floor of the wooden house.

The largest master bedroom has a double bed, a dressing table, and a simple wooden wardrobe.

In the closet were neat rows of clothes, men's and women's.

"Here," the long-haired man pointed to the drawer in the middle of the closet, "usually there may be some more important things in it, such as real estate certificates, contracts, or diaries."

"That makes sense," Sister Meng nodded, subconsciously agreeing with the long-haired man, "If you can find some written information, maybe you can understand the current situation."

Huanyan stood on the side without moving, she turned her head and smiled at the long-haired man: "I also think what you said makes sense, but since it is your suggestion, then you can find it yourself."

She actually thought of this too, but just as she was about to reach out to open the drawer, the long-haired man spoke.

She didn't like the feeling that she had planned to do it, but suddenly became asked to do it by others.

The little rebellious mood came so suddenly.

When she was looking for things before, she was always in front, and it happened that she also wanted to take a break, and she didn't want to keep leading the battle.

The long-haired man was not unhappy because of Huanyan's lack of cooperation, he said "OK", and walked to the front and opened the drawer.

"Jingle Bell--"

The crisp bell rang suddenly, which shocked everyone.

Huanyan was the first to come back to her senses, and she turned to look at the bedside.

There is an old-fashioned landline telephone on the simple bedside table, painted red, which is very conspicuous in the whole log-colored furniture.

It was the landline phone ringing.

At this time, the bell had rang for several seconds, and everyone looked at the landline phone, but no one took a step forward.

"This..." The middle-aged woman swallowed nervously, "Do you want to pick it up?"

"What to answer!" Jin Necklace glared at the middle-aged woman angrily, "This is not our home, the call is definitely not for us, there is no need to answer it."

Huanyan wasn't nervous, but she didn't intend to answer the phone either.

According to her judgment, this call must be for players like them.

The only thing that is uncertain is whether the call is destined for a certain person, or whether it will be directed at the person who answered the call.

But no matter from what point of view, it is not suitable to answer the phone casually at this time.

And she was also a little curious about what would happen if no one answered the phone.

Sister Meng and the long-haired man didn't move either, they both looked at the landline phone quietly.

After more than a dozen rings, the bell disappeared and the room fell silent.

Both the gold necklace and the middle-aged woman subconsciously let out a sigh of relief.

"Jingle Bell--"

The next second, the landline phone rang again.

The gold necklace and the middle-aged woman were frightened again, and for a moment they even forgot to breathe.

"It looks like..." The middle-aged woman came back to her senses, she said hesitantly, "It seems that I can't answer the phone..."

"No hurry," Huan Yan said with a relaxed expression, "Let's go and look at the rest of the room first, and then deal with the phone call."

The consequences of not answering the phone she expected were much more serious than this.

If not answering the phone will only cause the phone to keep ringing, there is no problem other than a little annoying.

It just so happened that she also wanted to see if the calls would really keep coming in, or if she gave up after calling several times and no one answered.

"It's not very good..." The middle-aged woman hid in the corner timidly, with a nervous expression on her face, "If it's really an important call, if you miss it..."

She stopped before she finished speaking, as if she didn't dare to continue.

She lowered her eyes, staring at her feet, looking embarrassed.

"What you said makes sense," Huanyan looked at the middle-aged woman and suggested friendlyly, "Why don't you answer the phone?"

The middle-aged woman looked up at Huanyan with a dazed expression.

"You were the one who put forward the opinion first, so you should do it first~" He smiled and pointed to the long-haired man, "It's like he just asked to check the drawer, and he was responsible for opening the drawer to find clues, which is fair."

The middle-aged woman's expression became even more embarrassed: "I...I dare not..."

When she said this, she had a more ashamed expression on her face, as if she felt very embarrassed because she just made an opinion, but she didn't dare to act.

"Then listen to me." Huanyan made a decision, and she looked at the long-haired man and the gold necklace again, "Of course, if you have ideas, you can do it according to your own ideas, I don't force you to listen to me ~"

"I have no objection." The long-haired man turned his head and continued to search for things in the drawer.

Jin Necklace coughed dryly, and his attitude was no longer as tough as before: "I don't care."

He didn't dare to answer that call, God knows what would happen.

So according to Huanyan's plan, everyone searched all the rooms first.

Nothing special was found in the two secondary bedrooms, not even a photo or a piece of clothing. It seemed that no one lived there all year round.

In the only master bedroom with traces of life, there are not many things.

Only in the drawer that the long-haired man was rummaging through, he found a useful clue - a diary.

But there is a combination lock on the diary, not the kind of joke combination lock, but an iron frame is added to the outside of the diary, and a serious combination lock is placed on the side.

"It seems that we still need to find a key that matches the diary's lock." The long-haired man felt helpless.

Huanyan glanced at the combination lock, and was not in a hurry to express any opinion.

Her gaze returned to the lacquered red landline phone on the bedside table.

The phone is still ringing, and it seems that if no one answers, it will keep ringing.

"It's very clear now, it's impossible not to answer this call." Huan Yan looked at the crowd, "Which one of you will answer?"

The gold necklace and the middle-aged woman immediately avoided Huanyan's sight, for fear that they would become the chosen ones.

The long-haired man looked at the landline phone that kept ringing, with a hesitant expression on his face.

"Let me come!" Sister Meng said suddenly, and she patted her chest, as if to encourage herself, "It's just a phone call, it's no big deal!"

It would be impossible to say that she didn't have any worries in her heart.

But if no one else is willing to answer the phone, she is reluctant to let Huanyan take risks.

It's better for her to come by herself, at least it can prevent others from pushing Huanyan to the front.
